Andy Werner - Comments

FriendFeed is the easiest way to share online. Learn more »

Just was talking to http://www.friendfeed.com/garin and we came to the conclusion that if you are going to comment on a friendfeed item you should either be first or last. Why? They always are visible. So, here's your chance! :-)

If we are really cool we'll get on this list http://friendfeed.com/search... - Robert Scoble

Kevin is first, who will be last? I just want to be the penultimate commenter! - Robert Scoble

first and last words are all that matter on the FF. - rob friedman

Okay. Everyone stop NOW! - Kevin Sablan

great. now FF is going to be filled up with those annoying ass people that comment "FIRST!" on everything. - Enrique Gutierrez

ok - Shawn Snodgrass

Aw crap, I could sit here all night waiting to be last, so may as well comment now. - Sharon McPherson

8th! - rob friedman

Any worthy FF thread will engage interested parties enough to read most of the comments. - iTad

Do I get bonus points if I end up being the thread killer? - Kevin Johnson

Kevin you could always delete your 1st comment. :) - rob friedman

Kevin! Yes, and we're having a great time watching this. It will get old fast, but for now it's really fun! - Robert Scoble

Hey Enrique.. that would suck. Oh... LAST! Oh Jeff... Last. - Ted Bradford II

That's why these threads just go on and on and on... people just want to have the last word. ;-P - Chris Heath

Chris: I don't want the last word. I want the penultimate word. :-) - Robert Scoble

Nope, I like the riffng of the conversation. Jump in anywhere. Enjoy the free flow of ideas and worry not about being seen by the scanners. Those who take the time to expand the thread have such a richer experience. - michael sean wright

if i wasn't so tired i'd play that out Chris (as my last post was truly in jest). Late here in East TN. Gonna go tip a few cows and call it a day. - Ted Bradford II

Ted: so was mine ... didn't you catch the winky tongue? (i'm on cape fear so i'm soon to bed as well) - Chris Heath

Good point, unless you're actually using the RT chat aspect of FriendFeed, I guess... - Andy Werner

Chris- I did, but needed a segue into a cow tipping joke... cause I've never done so before. I do know this, tomorrow I will use the word 'penultimate' and dazzle family and friends. Hope alls quiet on the Cape bro. These storms have been a biotch. Annnnnnd Jeff just trumped us all. Tell him what he's won Enrique... nite all. - Ted Bradford II

Second to last is always visible on my screen. :) - Bwana ☠

Clever way to get the most commented upon comment on FF ever.... - Barak B

Ted, if you haven't dozed off- i'll have you know that the coastal winds tend to keep a lot of the storm systems at bay- if you're close enough to the water - a mile or 5 inland can make a big difference some days - and spot t/storms can be localized around here big time - for instance yesterday it rained (for a short period) at my house while i was at work 5 miles away getting no rain - only knew cuz the ground was wet when i went home for lunch... ok - it's really time for sleep now - g'nite FriendFeed - Chris Heath

so in other words, last is not least? - Julie Bovee Hill

Barak: check out this idea for a long thread (still nowhere near the longest on friendfeed, but the idea.. ) http://friendfeed.com/ajbatac... - Chris Heath

Chris: Yes, that is a good one too. This is better though and I predict with end up with more comments. - Barak B

Yay! I am last as of now :) - Amit Nangare

lets see how long this lasts for! :) - Paul Kinlan

Another one of these? From Scoble this time? Wow. BTW, last post. - Chris Charabaruk

I will be the penultimate commenter! - Garin Kilpatrick

That way I can be the ultimate one. - Chris Charabaruk

Nope. - Barak B

friendfeed should allow for "liking" comments so top comments can be the ones shown, no matter the chronology. And allow the users to watch comments by likes, threaded or chronologically. - Charbax

A blatant attempt at gaming the FriendFeed statistics for no real useful purpose... Oooh, can I be last, Please Please!!! - Peter Kelley

No, Peter, you may not be last. That's my position. - Chris Charabaruk

Last Post!!! - Richard Hurt

well, the last comment is always changing, isn't this like having your 5 nanoseconds of glory? - Liviu Lica

This thread is now closed. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

No, NOW it's closed. - Chris Charabaruk

Or is it? :) - Liviu Lica

Perhaps now... - Garin Kilpatrick

thats me! :) - Roshan Ramachandran

based on what you say, it easier to simply click like :-) - Orli Yakuel

:) - Michael Fidler

"Comment on a friendfeed item"? which one? ;) - Thierry R. Andriamirado

Are trying to go for the longest comment thread again? - Amit Morson

Amit: no, most times one post gets hidden. - Robert Scoble

In a different timezone you can have the advantage :) - Rene de Vries

Okay, people, nothing to see here. Just walk on. This is the last comment. It's all clear now. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

What if you write backwards? Does that help? - Kieran Daly

It would be nice if we could pick the number of comments shown at the top and bottom, I'd like to see the first 3 and last 3 for example. - Kol Tregaskes

I usually read all the comments of something I'm interested in. I don't just read the top and bottom ones so I don't care where I come in. I comment on what I want to because I want to say something. It's nice if the original poster reads/responds to it, but not absolutely necessary. Most of the time the most fun/interaction comes from other commenters. - Molly

Sounds like an online auction...Is there any deadline? Then I'll prepare my winning speech 17,3 sec beforehand. - Zack Brandit

I'm not falling for your postbait, Scoble! Oh wait...crap. - c.a.j.

Cow tipping - That's Funny - Brent - Yes I am

Good point. - Jack Boyle

I feel sorry for the cows. And the grass. I am weakhearted I guess. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

I guess I misunderstood. You were talking about that fat waittress in Crazy Mick's Breakaway Cafe, weren't you? - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Fine, I'm in - Don Bonaddio

Nope - Jérôme

no - mjc

Yeah, you were last. Congrats. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

In ur timezone, stealin ur commentz, kthxbye :) - Peter Kelley

ok, I'll hold on to last place for visablity! - PaulJohnson

I was going to add something witty, but i got nothing. sorry.... - Mike Nencetti

No problem. Participating is more important than winning, we say in the Netherlands. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

It's the long-tail of real-time - zeroinfluencer

Excellent point David ;) - Don Bonaddio

Being last has one drawback. It makes you a thread-killer. I'm not sure some of us like being that. Sometimes I'd rather see the discussion keep going. - George Hall (Australia)

Do like the suggestion made earlier that there should be bonus points for being the thread-killer... - George Hall (Australia)

but who wants to be last? - mcvictor

Ok Robert, please close this thread now. ;) - Meryn Stol

I disagree, and I'll tell you why below... - FFing Enigma

We already did this thread, I'll post the link right after Tina's rebuttal - Rahsheen?

You don't really believe that Robert. Content is key! :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

But if I post last, I'm first in the thread on Twhirl! Double win! ;-) - Julie Barrett from twhirl

amazing - David Gross from email

Always happy to be last .... but it probably won't last :) - Charlie Anzman

llllllaaaaasssssstttttt - mjc

You'd be right Charlie :P - Jay

And there is nothing I hate more than reading that first comment that childishly claims "First!" and nothing more. "Last!" (until the next comment comes along) - Jim Espinoza

By the way, I'm the last commenter in a very participated thread recently started by Robert Scoble, but that didn't gain me almost any new follower. I'm fine with this though, as I'd find silly being advantaged for being the last commenter ;-) - Opensource Obscure

Agreed :) - Fabian De Simone

How do I stick my comment to the bottom so that it will always be last? :) - Jeff Sayre

How long can this go on? - Tom Landini

Last! ...for now - Scott

So this if why Scoble goes nuts over realtime feeds - he can be the first to comment. - Tom Landini

Well, every comment gets to be last for at least a couple of seconds. Or fractions of a second with RT. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

If you want to understand the power of last you need to read this thread http://friendfeed.com/mikenay... - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

"There is no final solution. There is no last word.” ~ Carlos Fuentes - Sharon McPherson

First is way better, because the last post can always change :) - Tim McDougall

http://last.fm - Garin Kilpatrick

Easy to be first, harder to be last. Kind of like trying to win a silent auction, you always have to go back - Lorraine Ball

but what if it took me a while to find the discussion, and i still want to be last? ;-) - Courtney Engle

Firs...Last. - Rob

@Rob - in yo' face! - JoEllen

The one who will comment after me is so stupid I would'nt like to be him :P - stanjourdan

Yoink! - Zach Lytwyn

112 comments - but there can never be last comment, can there? Unless there is a FF limit on the number of comments - Paul, is there a limit? - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

The current last comment is the next penultimate comment. - Brian Sullivan

Not everyone is on here to market themselves to infinity. Why people, other than people who actually make money off of exposure, insist on wanting the most friends on ff/fb/ms/tt is beyond me. Not everyone is a Scobilite! Yes I did just make that word up... where do I copyright it? lol - Jason Williams

Didn't someone blog about tinyurl's dominance a while back - about how they have too much power. Might have been Gillmor or Winer - Bwana ☠

Winer. I don't think they have too much power - Steve Gillmor

I'm going for last. - Derek Markham

I've got last:-) - Francine Hardaway

instahide - Edward Zwart

How can we compete against Robert - Peter Meng

Peter: why compete? Just come in last! :-) - Robert Scoble

ok - Kevin Johnson

Just checking. I heard this thread was closed, so I wondered if commenting still works. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

wow that's pretty rad :-) - Patphelan

@Jeff, it's not spam if you opt in ;-) - Kevin Johnson

wonder what the value of posting on page length increments are... as people page down your comment is visible ;) - offbeatmammal

Jeff: do you still get email if you hide a thread? I bet you do. That sucks. Now I know why I don't turn on email notifications. - Robert Scoble

There is no last. - Mobius Loop - Robert Couture

to infinity and beyond - Jonathan Grimes

@Jeff - same here - noworries - Kevin Johnson

- Rob

This. Will. Never. End. - Michael Forian

Pay me $10 and I'll delete this thread. (Future friendfeed monetization technique). Sigh. - Robert Scoble

Your comment is always the last! look at mine :) - Luis Benavides

Welcome to the neverending thread :) - Garin Kilpatrick

Garin: I'll delete it before it ends. :-) - Robert Scoble

Robert: That would be a shame. You'd be up $10 at least though :) - Garin Kilpatrick

The last shall be last - Peter Meng

There can be only one. - Kevin Johnson

I seem to be last on many of Steve Gillmor's posts @techcrunchit, the kiss of death to many a conversation. I should be so lucky here. - Aron Michalski from fftogo

Yes, you should be so lucky :p - Jesse Newhart

I'm going to change my FriendFeed ID to "145 more comments" - Mark Traphagen

Getting a piece of the pie... :) - Jan Ole Peek

I've often found myself to have the last comment. It hasn't benefited me yet that I've noticed...let's try that again. - Mike Lewis

first is forever....last is a very transient honor indeed. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

and being both is probably meaningless, but I'm still going to claim it - Kevin Johnson

Do others ever get more than 2 comments on their posts? :) - Cameron

Doing it!! www.radarla.com - Drew Lucas

So, if you are last and then someone comes behind you, should you re-comment to be last again? - T.S. Elliott

Probably so T.S. but it won't last long ;) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Sorry Rob:-) - Michael Fidler

1 - Robert Kenney

2 - Robert Kenney

As a fine-art platform, as a painting, do you think anyone would be interested in a full-screen image feed animated by Judith Supine? http://www.flickr.com/photos... - stephen harlow

He who comments last... - Abbas Haider Ali

comments as: - Kevin Johnson

Tag- Im it - Ryan Gerritsen

not anymore you're not ;) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

zaloom! - Kevin Johnson

for one moment I could imagine that every comment was Kevin Johnson and his "zaloom!" - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

ANd so I do and then another and another :) Fun huh. - Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa

not really... but hey... whatever - Chris Heath

So to comment or to like a FriendFeed item is to promote it.. and to promote the promoter. Great great great! - Thierry R. Andriamirado

173rd!! - Mark Traphagen

Controlled noise... - Joe Dawson

Indeed it is official :) But not for long let me bask in it's glory for a moment hahaha. - Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa

It was fun while it lasted. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Okay, Thanks. It was taking too much of my time anyway. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Nicholas: Except this thread is far more epic :) - Garin Kilpatrick

back again...to claim last place! - Zach Lytwyn

Good for you Zach! - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Cannot. Let. This. End. - Robert Couture

Have. To. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

hit hit hit - Hans Mestrum

Kol: Cool idea, it would be neat to be able to choose how many of the first and last comments were visible. - Garin Kilpatrick

Last - Michael Fidler

I like most anything distilled...information, bait...(distilled bait...is that like the worm at the bottom of the mezcal?) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

The difference would be that in this case the worm will stay on the bottom. No matter what. - Ruud van Wijngaarden

I am not quite sure about that. But willing to accept it. (Wait! You just called me a worm? The most underrated but valuable animal on the planet, that brings us fertile ground and eats dead stuff? It is a nice compliment, but might be a bit much). - Ruud van Wijngaarden

Yesterday somebody asked: 'if you pass the number two in a race, which place are you in?' and I answered wrong. Passing the last one in this race will be hard... - Ruud van Wijngaarden

The last comment shall be mine! :) - Garin Kilpatrick

Woot, last comment. ;) - Jimminy IS Everybody

mine - Michael Fidler

NOPE - Jimminy IS Everybody

Mmmm. I always hoped I would be last. - Ruud van Wijngaarden from email

I think it is hard to be first and even harder to be last.. just look at this thread.. http://ff.im/1hqgl - David Gross

Last comment? - Jeff P. Henderson

you mean Twitter Gar1n? You were talking on TWITTER WEREN'T YOU! LIAR "friendfeeed Garin" pfttttt still the same bi-polar - sofarsoShawn ~presque...

Interesting comment, SFSS, very interesting indeed. So interesting, in fact, that I think that nothing further needs to be added to this thread. Ever. - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

אתם כל כך מלא חרא, אבל זו בעיה שלך, לא שלי :-) - David Gross from email

actually i don't know how not to be the last commenter :) - İ. Emre Kutlu

Me too.. - David Gross from email

If only I could puncture the depths of Scoble's scratch-the-surface brain fart, techno-vangelizing, then I'd actually care WHOLE HEARTEDLY about this meaningfully retarded thread. - sofarsoShawn ~presque...

The only way this thread can be made even more ridiculous and anachronistic is to move it to identi.ca.. Myspace would work, too. - Tal Shafik

Interesting ;) - Alex

And since you can't guarantee being last unless you are the originator of the thread or can convince the originator to end comments (but since Robert is AWOL that is unlikely) -- you better be first. ;-) - Brian Sullivan

Stuff - Jonathan Hardesty

Okay, admittedly being the last IS visible...but who REALLY wants to be the thread-killer? - George Hall (Australia)

apparently, some people http://friendfeed.com/ajbatac... http://friendfeed.com/silas21... http://friendfeed.com/mikenay... (notice 2000+ comments!) - Chris Heath

I think I remember commenting on one of those threads...and it's STILL going???? - George Hall (Australia)

Hey, this one's from May... it's about to hit its own anniversary! - Chris Heath

I'm surprised this only has a little over 200 comments. - Jason Williams

201 - David Gross

don't be so sure about that... there's lots of people who like to be thread killers or last... just wait and watch - Chris Heath

Sage words Robert - Sage words indeed! - PaulJohnson

See??? I told you! - Chris Heath

It doesn't seem to work in the long term. - Ruud van Wijngaarden
